J Hooked Rears Fitted

[Fernandez]

Finally got round to fitting the rear disks, didn't have time yesterday to fit the fronts but they are going on very soon along with the new hub that's needed.

For the rear pads I went for Performance Friction, no point in messing about really.

Now you tell me, Mr Black is using my car as a donor to see if he can replace the bearings in the same way he does does with the Meganes. Hopefully if it works he'll be offering that service so
people don't have to spends £180 on a new hub.

Hub mate, it creaks like mad when turning the wheel.

Like the look of them think they will be next on my shopping list.

So is the disc surface bigger than the one of the stock discs then mate? With time that area that doesn't contact the pad is going to get corroded and look nasty!

No mate, the pads I have are smaller, might be that I have been sent the wrong ones.

The disks are the exactly the same as OEM, even down to having the OEM bearings and ABS rings.

That's what I wanted to hear!!

question, can you fit new discs with used pads (assuming of course the pads are going to be sanded down to a new leveled surface etc)?

My rear DS2500 have plenty of meat left so it'd be a waste to throw them away

They do say its best to put new pads on bit if your pads are sanded down to provide even wear then I don't see why not.
